The Vibrant Liquid Aquarium Cleaner Thread

[GoFish]

I would stay away from "drizzling" this product into your tank lol. Instructions say 1ml per 10 gallons which ain't much! Do you remember what days you dosed Chris? Like 3ml Friday, 10ml'ish Saturday? I'm surprised it has an effect on your bubble algae and bryopsis already. From what I've read this stuff should be used from twice per week, up to once every 2 weeks depending on algae type or amount.

Keep us posted

I'll be taking photos every night at the same time and will compile some images after about a week.

Here's a general guideline regarding target algae from R2R for sake of quicker reference....

"What algae strains does Vibrant rid and how fast does it work?

Vibrant is a true beast and we have not yet come across a algae that Vibrant can not beat out. Below I will list a general timeline of how fast Vibrant works on frequent algae strains that cause issues in reef aquariums.

Cloudy/hazy Water- 1 dose
Diatoms - 1-2 doses
Cyanobacteria - (Yes, it will outcompete another bacteria) 1-5 doses
Dinoflagellates - 2-5 doses
Bubble algae - 3-8 doses
Hair Algae - 3-5 doses (depending on species of hair and how bad the infestation is)
Turf Algae - 8-20 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)
Bryopsis - 6-30 doses ( again, depending on species and how bad the infestation is)"

Lazy mans pour Bryan, call it liquid courage....

I dosed 3ml Thursday night and then drizzled some into tank and sump like about 10-15ml more like a drip drip drip not squirt*friday

Haven't dosed any since because I was monitoring the corals, I can say that few days after like 6 days to be exact the corals are back to normal. Glass has a green film on it only after 1 week and 40% of bubble algae is gone... almost in disbelief from 1 dose. I got my doser yesterday so will hook it up tonight and start with 1 ml per day instead of suggested dose of 10ml per week. I think in small doses the corals will not even notice and stress.

got my bottle today, Friday 20th. added 1mL per 10 gallons. Will see how well it works.

What is it >? Peroxide?

[DKoKoMan]

Is this similar to Foz Down?

[rzadun]

It says 95% cultured bacterial blend, 1% amino acids, 0.5 % vinegar and 3.5% other ingredients.

[GoFish]

I don't think it contains Lanthanum Chloride or H2O2 but still not sure what the other 3.5% is. Maybe an algaecide?
